Working with others

I love collaborating. Almost all of my best work has been done with collaborators.

In 2011 I collaborated with Karen Gutosky-Zimmerman on an international and inter-institutional project. We brought together her American design students to work with my Thai animation students. The project was successful and Karen and I ended up co-presenting our case study in 2012 at the Geographics: Design, Education and the Transnational Terrain Conference(AIGA).

In 2012 I had my first foray into High School level workshops was a “Stop Motion Workshop” for SEASAC Performing Arts Festival at Ruamrudee International School co-conducted with Pavla Poch. A year later I co-conducted a “Mini Music Video Workshop” at the International School of Bangkok with Bryan Ott.

In 2014 I began work on “Thai Whale Animation Project: Whale Conservation Awareness in Thailand” with Chankit Chamnivikaipong, a director of photography for TVCs and feature films with a passion for conserving nature. The collaboration has been fruitful with a finished animated film, a set of high school level workshops and a conference talk for the Society of Animation Studies. In fact, we are still collaborating in 2019, with a new documentary series coming out.

I look forward to new collaborations in different pedagogical spaces in the future.

TRANSITIONS

MANAGING TRANSITIONS "Transitions are times when students move from place to place or from activity to activity." (Kaizen Teaching, 2015) HUMOR  I created a pinterest board with many cartoons and jokes so I can pull them out to lighten the mood.    Humor SETTLING/STARTER ACTIVITIES Things students can do as soon as they enter class. CRITIC IT! A small piece of paper with this printed out is laid on the student's desk: Project a work of art on the screen. As soon as students sit down they can start writing their critique of the work. This gets the students engaged and depending on the work of art chosen reinforces class content. As an exit ticket the students might read out something from their critique. I created a pin board with works of art that can be projected.  The works of art come from the Tate Artworks ‘The Colour That Was There’, Gillian Ayres OBE, 1993 | Tate DRAW IT! The reverse of the critic it. A drawing prompt is ...
